My Geriatric Journal

All my entries in one place

This is a series of rambling ruminations about what bothers, concerns, interests or excites me, a reasonably verbal and active octogenarian — the things that make me human and that I want to share so they will not be forgotten when I am dead.

I chose to submit them to P.S. I Love You because I enjoy being around loving people — and because the publication liked “Stories that seek to articulate not just what it’s like to be in love … or to be seeking love, or to be reeling from a lack of it — but what it’s like to be alive.”

I have been alive for so long that I decided to open the pages of my journal to anyone who would like to read it. I can’t promise it has useful advice or listicles (I hate that word), but I will promise it is about being alive and comes straight from my heart.

Apparently the P.S. I Love You Site stories have been hacked (Hackernoon?). I am slowly taking them down and republishing them. If you get a hackernoon message ignore it. A repaired version will appear sometime soon.

P.S. I Love You is no more, so I am now posting the stories to my home page or submitting them wherever I think they fit best.
